There are less and fewer bands who include accordion on their list of instruments. The typical modern band uses drums, keyboards and bass guitars. No. No. Although there are still one or two modern bands which proudly incorporate accordions in their music, it would still take a lot of convincing before several people buy the idea of listening to accordion-accompanied music on a regular basis. Those who wish to explore the amazing world of accordion may listen to bands like Those Darn Accordions. This rock-and-roll band has an innovative twist. TDA members Susan Garramone & Susie Davis tell listeners on their website that the band will strive to revolutionize public perceptions of accordion.
Wait, how do people understand the squeezeboxes (another name of accordion) and why does it need to be rearranged? One thing is for sure, accordions don’t look as sophisticated and sleek as modern instruments. Squeezeboxes seem like a more complicated, ‘pleated-looking’ version of keyboards. Although they date back to 18th century, squeezeboxes now have moderner models. However accordion seems dated in today’s band standards. Squeezeboxes often make the topic of jokes in cartoons, sitcoms, and other media. Squeezeboxes, on the other hand, are the preferred instrument of John Linnell (Boozoo Chavis) and Beau Jocques.
Music-wise button accordion for sale produce an unbeatable sound. Music is created by the squeezeboxes’ ‘pleats’ being alternately compressed and expanded. Button accordion (an older version of the keyboard-like squeezebox) has buttons that musicians can press to create a pleasing melody. TDA members four and two each play accordions. The other two play drums, bass guitar, and drums. The result? It’s a great idea. TDA wasn’t even invented, but the Ulster Scots knew about the wonderful world of squeezeboxes long before that. In the rich Scots musical culture, accordion is a well-known instrument. Scots or non Scots, everyone can appreciate squeezeboxes if they give them a chance. The younger generation should be adventurous enough to make it a point that they listen to accordion-playing bands, to enrich their musical skills and add variety into their playlists.
